Hey kiddo.
How are things in your neck of the woods? Things are pretty good here. Busy as ever. The weather is starting to cool down. It is kinda nice in the morning for a little while until the sun comes out. Then it gets up in the 90's or so. I can feel fall coming. So how about you---does it ever get "cool" there or is it going to be summer year round for you?
I think I'm on overload most of the time now. This week I forgot to get the girls after piano lessons. They called about 40 minutes after I was supposed to be there and I didn't even remember I was supposed to get them. Too much "stuff" floating around in my head!

We went to the nursing home this week and had a nice experience. The girls and boys all sang well and were pleasant about going. One old lady saw us walking by her room and couldn't go and asked if we'd come back and visit her. I promised we would and so afterward about 7 of us stopped by her room and sang "You are my sunshine" to her. She loved it and asked for more. So we sang 2 more verses of the song. Then she told the girls how wonderful daughters of god that they were and was so thankful that we came. It was neat. The girls were even asking if they could go back. So that was cool.
This week the girls went to a "free event in the park" Friday night for girl scouts. There was 10 stations that they got to go to and learn about things like the environment, recycling, the water cycle...I dunno, just stuff. It was very well put together and throw in a free hot dog and water and we had ourselves an evening. They got all kid of free goodies and really enjoyed it.
The girls were kind of stubborn Saturday. Did the whole -- clean your room and we'll go do stuff lecture. 4 hours later...rooms still looked the same. 2 spankings and 15 minutes later...clean room! Aaaahhh!!! Seriously, why we gotta beat 'em to get 'em to behave?!
We then went swimming and then I went to the women's broadcast. President Uchtdorf gave an excellent talk about forget-me nots. He talked about making sacrifices in our life and that being a good thing but being smart about our sacrifices...sometimes LDS women tend to overdo -- like making hand stitched pot holders for every member of the R.S. to hand out with your lesson...Overdo! I put the pix about the things he talked about. If you can get hold of that talk it's a keeper. (Let me know if you need me to get it to you).
So we are just plugging along doing the same old thing and thinking of you and worrying about you and so thankful that you are having a good experience. I hope the brothers will follow in your footsteps. I still worry about the one! One to keep him on a tight leash and make him do what's right but that isn't how it's supposed to be!
I am excited to hear about your week and hope it was another great one! Love you lots, Mom.
